woman,s Work in Early Times.

Prior 30 the American revolution every
colonial farm house and every black
smiths shop was mandatory. For
everything was literally manufactured;
that is, made by hand. The blacksmith
hammered out axes, hoes, spades, plow-
shears, scythes and nails. A tailoress
went from house to house to make up
the winter clothing, and was followed by
the shoemaker. The farmer prepared
the leather from skins which had laid in
the vat for a year, and his wife made
ready the cloth. Spinning wheels buzzed
from morning till night. Skeins of wooden
and linen yarn hung on the walls of
every house. Seated ON the loom seat,
the best woman of the family piled shut
ties and treadles, weaving blankets,
window curtains, hannels and cloth for
garments. Every woman in the house
hold manufactured something. The aged
grandmother spun fax with the little
wheel; the youngest daughter carded
wool, and the Oldest, if the men were
busy, hatcheled flax. 1t was hand work
that did it, and every hand did what it
could best do. The women, whose
sswork was never done, not only carded,
spun and wove, but they MIXED the COWS,
made butter, bread and cheese, soap and
candles, cooked the food, did the wash
ing, and in harvest raked hay, pulled
flax and dug potatoes. The neighbor
who happened in for an afternoons Cos
sip brought her work. The mother
patched or knitted as she rested by the
Preside, or quartered apples for the
children to ''string' and hang in the
morning in festoons on the sunny OUT
side walls. All were busy, always busy.

Alma Tadema,s Dwelling.

Mr.. Alma Tadema, most versatile of
artists, has added one more world to
those he has already conquered. He has
become his own architect, and NJ Tissot's
house in st. Johns wood, which was
considered gem in its way when the
French artist lived in it, has been trans
formed inside and out into something
quite marvellous to behold. In the ex-
terror are bits of nearly all the styles of
all the ages, from the classic romantic
down to the latest Nineteenth century
development of art, or eccentric fashion
and fancy.
Inside, the medley is still more be-
wildering, but always harmonious. Mr..
Tadema was resolved that every nook
and corner of his new home should have
its picture, and each picture unlike its
fellow. One vista suggests Greece, an
other Rome, third the gorgeous and
mysterious east. The room designed for
the special use of the artists wife will be
one Of the prettiest interiors in London.
His own studio viii also be unique in
arrangement and decoration, and his
friends are already looking forward to
the enjoyment of his hospitality amid
surroundings that viii enhance, if pos
sible, its well known grace and charm.

When we got into the Brock Road in
trenchments, man few files to my
left dropped dead, shot just above the
right eye. He did not groan, or sigh, or
make the slightest physical movement,
except that his chest heaved few times.
The life went out of his face instantly,
leaving it without particle of express
sion. 1t was plastic, and as the facial
muscles contracted it took many shapes.
When this mans body became cold, and
his face hardened, it was horribly dis
torted, as though he had suffered in
tensely. Any person who had not seen
him killed would have said that he had
endured supreme agony before death re-
leased him. A few minutes after he fell

wound. He was Strengthened out and
lived for over an hour. He did not speak.
Simply lay on his back, and his broad
chest rose and fell, slowly at first, and
then faster and faster, and more and
more feeble until he was dead. And his
face hardened, and it was almost terrify-
ing IN its painful distortion.

Low ceilings and High Ones,

Ihe sanitary institute of Great Britain
las discussed an interesting paper in
which the writer argues that ventilation,
nat is, the constant change of the at
mosphere, goes on more satisfactorily in
a room with low ceiling than high
one. The argument is, that to have the
currents of fresh air circulating only in
the lower part Of room, leaving the up
per portion Of the air in it unaffected, is
practically a much worse way of ventila-
ting the room than, with the same move
ment of the air, to cut off the upper
stagnant portion Of it by q low ceiling,
for the stagnant atmospheric mass under
the high ceiling, although motionless.
keeps actively at work under the law of
the diffusion of gases, fouling the fresh
currents that circulate beneath it, while
with low rooms and high windows no
accumulation of stagnant air can exist,
the hot and foul atmospheric strain being
swept constantly from the ceilings IN the
currents just as dust is swept from the
floor by broom Boston Budget.

A Protest Against Cheap Books,

The custom of .'wiring' books instead
of sewing the sheets together, was inn
ported, we believe, from America, and is
there used almost universally. Even
costly scientific treatises receive this
abominable treatment. Here it is at pres
ent used chiefly for the cheap and ephem-
eral literature, which perhaps it is not
unsuited for. But book buyers should
refuse to take copies of valuable books
that have been wired. All that is neces-
sary to avoid receiving them is to state
when ordering copies that wired ones
will be refused. If the publisher declines
to supply sewn copies, the buyer should
order the work in sheets and have them
bound up by a competent bookbinder.
The extra trouble and cost will not be
wasted. 1t is unnecessary to explain
the mischiefs arising from the use of
wire; they are palpable on inspection.

Anntnar WORD Needed.

The government ought to offer re-
ward for ANYBODY who viii invent word
that viii pleasantly, picturesquely, agree
ably define happy evening among
friends. Social is one of the most
horrible words in the language, used as a
noun. Party" means anything or
nothing. It is absolutely unexpressive.
IA good time comes in for big drunk,
or a picnic, or funeral, even, for there
are people who enjoy, really enjoy, fune-
rails. "a dinner party seems to stop
with the eating. Now if there is time
when people are unsociable, it is at a
big dinner party. If you are fond Of
eating, Conversations nuisance, and
you can't get up any reasonable discus
sion that will not be broken by the
courses.
You've either to devote yourself to the
menu or to your neighbor. If she's
pretty, you don't eat your dinner; if the
dinners good it requires perfect self
abnegation to pay any attention to her.
A dinner party is neither one thing nor
the other. But after dinnerl Well, that's
different. ssSoireen is an abominable
word. The man that coined it should
have been killed. Now, what can you
call happy, merry EVENING" You can't
call it anything short and nice and pleas
ant. People talk about spending the
evening" just as if they had to put in
the time somehow, and that was all they
wanted to do. Calling suggests a
STRAIGHTFORWARD chair, your hat in your

enjoyment, and that word is 'sHome. -

A Dress of Ancient DAYS.

From the most authentic authorities
we learn that there was but little, if any,
effort made to fit the garments to the
body 45O years before Christ, and the
chief and indispensable article of wear
was called the ''chiton, 9 linen bag-like
affair, made in one piece and open at the
top and bottom. 1t reached from the
neck to the feet, and was SO wide that
the arms might be extended without dis
comfort. This particular style must have
been all the rage, as we say nowadays,
for the richer class likewise wore the
chiffon, but it was composed of silk in
stead of linen, and another similar cos
tune called the ssHimation, y which was
composed of some sort of wooden stuff

The Gout In America

The govt has not yet become SO exag-
gerated in its symptoms here as it is in
England. There are occasional patients
who suffer it in the EXTREMIST degree, but
in general it is Less pronounced and stub
born under treatment. 1t has not become
hereditary with us, ils short. But that
We win get there in due time there can
be no doubt.
The manifestations of American govt
are il this much different from the
English that it attacks our women more
numerously than our men. This may be
accounted for by the active lives our men
live and the sluggish and idle existences
OF many woman whose means place them
above the necessity of domestic labor.
Inaction, overlooking or overwhelming
bring the govt on to the Englishman Of
the novels and the farces. and inaction
and panpering send the twingea into our
women 5 pretty toes. Alfred Trumble in

Gold and Paner.

A paragraph in one of the state papers
as to the relative weights of gold coin
and paper money has made demand on
druggists for the use of their scales. It
appears that a question was raised as to
che number of ST bills required to equal
the weight Of a S. gold piece. The
guesses ran all the way from ten to one
hundred or more, but the scales showed
that seven bills win just tip the scales
down on the side where the paper money
is placed. Tests here in Hartford give
the same results, their being very slight
variation when new bills are used
